SF's favorite toy boutique is now taking on your favorite block of late-night television. Kidrobot recently announced an upcoming line of Adult Swim toys slated for release in April. The line features characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Metalocalypse, Robot Chicken, and lots more. But sadly, no Boondocks figures. I would've loved a PVC miniature of A Pimp Named Slickback. -- ASD Staff Report
